Smb acronmyns



Can I just point out that some of these are initialisms and not acronyms?

Acronyms are ones you can pronounce, like COBRA for Cabinet Office Briefing Room A.

Initialisms are ones you can’t, like FBI or CIA.

So SEB, DNASH and NDOYT are acronyms but FTM, BTW and TAWTFTM are initialisms.
